hey man, thanks for this awesome mod! its pretty awesome how the newer versions now are able to detect and track paths, its such a great feature being able to rollback and check out alternate paths with your mod.
however i've just updated to using the 1.13.1 version, with this version i seem to have issues with rollback, my game tends to crash when i tried to roll back to select the other detected paths. This occurs with all games ive used with this version.
I've tried using the 1.12 version and this issue does not occur. Wondering if anyone else has this issue?

Please be more specific. To use this on Android you could use JoiPlay or use an Android port supporting mods.

What is the error you get? Could you maybe share the "traceback.txt" file?

Important fix

I've just published 1.13.2. This fixes an issue where frozen variables could be erased when loading a save.

In more detail:
This only happened when the frozen variable has no default value and you loaded the save after you've already loaded another save or started a new game.

Thanks Belzeebub and Kata for reporting.

[Kata]

If I understand correctly. URM says the updated has finished and you need to apply it? After applying you still have the old version and a .tmp file in the game folder?
Do you have this on a/some specific game(s) or on all games? Which platform are you on?

Yep, it'll say it's finished updating and reload the game, but it'll ask to update again. It's not really a big issue as I can just download the file from here, but it seems like something is preventing it from updating.

Windows, and I think it's there for most games. Updates are periodic so it's hard to remember exactly which games I was playing when trying to update, but I'm pretty sure it's only worked for me one time. I'm trying to remember what game that was exactly (it might have been Hard to Love or the Roommate). For pretty much every other game, I get the update loop.

After developing Ren'Py mods for almost a year now. I thought is was time to create the mod of all mods.
So here is what I call URM (or Universal Ren'Py Mod). The goal of this mod is to enable anyone (even without any programming knowledge) to be able to quickly and easily mod any Ren'Py game.
Just drop the mod file into your favorite game's "game" directory and start modding!

Please let me know what you think. I really appreciate any feedback, so I know I'm not doing this for nothing.
Or maybe consider supporting me

WARNING!
You could break your game modifying any variable. Use at your own risk!
Breaking the game depends on the game's programming. You could create set of values the game doesn't expect. Which for example could prevent you to progress in the game or miss certain scenes. I would recommend saving before modifying. So you could always go back if something unexpected happens.

found a bug in Rewind that makes the game throw an exception whenever you remember a variable and go to the variables tab. this happens for every single line of text, so clicking rollback or ignore has little to no effect

Quite strange. Could it be your antivirus software?

See this:

Unfortunately this dev caused an issue within Ren'Py itself. I could only fix this by overruling Ren'Py's build-in function SetLocalVariable(), which I don't want to do.

I have a work-around for you:

1. Open the file renpy/common/00action_data.rpy
2. Find the line def SetLocalVariable(name, value): (line 161)
3. Add a line bellow that one containing: import sys

because it's use by Ren'Py internally.
Be doing this they broke a function inside Ren'Py that URM needs.

I am experiencing several errors with renaming today. It happens both when trying to do it just after loading a save (CollegeBound), but I also get an error when starting fresh in a different vn where I wanted to change the mc's surname...

It doesn't support the Suspicious game

 

[0x52]

It doesn't support the Suspicious game

Posting the error you're getting would be extremely helpful.
Anyhow... the error says "Incompatible Ren'Py version". You're not the first getting that, see this post about the same game:

From the traceback:

Exception: 0x52: Incompatible Ren'Py engine version
...
Ren'Py 6.99.13.2919
Suspicious 0.24

The game uses an old Ren'Py version that isn't supported by URM:

Here's a possible work-around:

I've did this on a few games and it worked without any problems.
You don't need to recompile. It's easier than that.
Download the renpy SDK zip (

You must be registered to see the links

)

Remove the game's 'lib' and 'renpy' directory.
Now unpack renpy sdk, and take the 'lib' and 'renpy' directory from there and put inside the game.
Also take the 'renpy.py', 'renpy.exe', 'renpy.sh' and put them there.

You can now start the game with the renpy.exe and URM should work.

If for some reason the game doesn't work, you could try using an earlier version of renpy.
Its rare but there are cases where renpy does some backwards incompatible changes.

Also, in case you want to rename renpy.exe to 'game_name.exe'.... you also need to rename the 'renpy.exe' inside the 'lib/windows' folder as it will try to find an .exe with the same name.

Sorry. I'm unable to reproduce this. Do you maybe have some other mods installed?

nope, didnt use any other mods, happened in a few other games i tried as well but ive since switched to the 1.13.2 version and have not experienced it again so i guess whatever it was is now irrelevant

Thanks for your attention, just keep what you are doing, its awesome work dude!

Hey 0x52 , would it be possible to add another variables tab and add a button to move variables between the 2 tabs, like 'move to tab A' and 'move to tab B' ? In big games it kinda becomes laggy when one exceeds all variables visible on 1 page. The optimal solution would be a browser like button but instead of "open a new tab" it would be "add another variables tab".

It would also make keeping track of variables much easier, especially given that most games take like 3-6 months for 1 update these days and whenever I play a new update, I've completely forgotten what any of those variables do, sorting them in different tabs ( maybe even allow for renaming the tabs ? ) sure would make it easier.

Awesome idea and execution, love URM !!!

Creating variable groups is on the roadmap. I think that will help with this

At first yes, but then I realize it was an old version and I have the latest updated game so I solve that problem, but now I can't edit anything.
